Capaldi said in a post on X: "Honestly didn't expect this at all, genuinely had no idea what to expect after taking a break for so long so (me) seeing this tour sell out faster than any tour I've ever played is the most incredible surreal feeling.

"Thank you to every single one of you who got a ticket and I'm very sorry to any of you who wanted to come and missed out this time.

"There won't be any other shows for now, want to make sure I don't push myself too far too soon, means more than ya know how many of you were waiting to get tickets this morning."

It comes after the 28-year-old returned to Glastonbury Festival, where he performed a 35-minute surprise set on the Pyramid Stage earlier this month, two years after being unable to finish his set on the same stage when he struggled to manage the symptoms of his Tourette syndrome.

He announced a break from touring shortly after his 2023 performance at the Somerset festival.

Capaldi has had six UK number one singles, including Before You Go, Pointless and Wish You The Best, he has also seen both of his studio albums reach number one in the UK albums chart.

Following the UK and Ireland tour, Capaldi will head to Australia and New Zealand for a string of dates in November and December.
